750 Resurrection

Post by Lechy »

About 4 years ago my Intruder was drowned in a flood. 6 weeks up to her axles in water, I stripped her down for parts but recently decided to re-build her as the frame number is VR51A-100028 possibly the oldest Intruder on the road.

Thanks Spit, I'm still having a little trouble with the carbs on low throttle but nothing I can't sort out. Once I get hard on the throttle it's like a Texan bedroom rodeo.

At 31 years old, she ain't the youngest at the ball but I recon she will still turn heads.
